Immunization Requirements
A healthy school setting gives all students the best chance to learn and grow. Vaccines are very important to this effort. They protect children from getting and spreading diseases that can make them very sick. For this reason, we require children aged 2-months to 18-years-old who are entering or attending child care, public school, or private school be vaccinated against certain diseases. Please follow the link to the Department of Education Immunization Requirements page.

arent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, November 13th./Reuniones de padres y profesores el jueves 13 de noviembre.
Good afternoon, Mott Hall Families,
We are excited to connect with you during this year’s first Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, November 13th. Students will attend school until 11:00 a.m. and will receive their Marking Period #1 Report Cards that day. Our afternoon PTC sessions will take place from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., and evening sessions will occur from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. All conferences will be virtual (via Zoom), and the link for each teacher’s Zoom meeting is included below.
Below, you will find the links to each teacher’s PTC Sign-up Form, their Zoom links, and their email addresses. Please schedule ten-minute meetings with any teachers you’d like to speak with, prioritizing them based on your student’s needs and current performance in class. The conferences are not mandatory, but we highly encourage all our families to speak with at least one teacher if possible.
To make these conferences a success, we ask that you do two things:
Please arrive at the Zoom meeting link three minutes before your scheduled time. You will be placed in a Waiting Room, and the teacher will let you in as soon as the conference before yours has ended. We will not be able to accommodate late attendees. If you are unable to attend your conference, please email the teacher in advance and schedule an appointment at a later date.
Please join the Zoom meeting with your child (using your child’s DOE Zoom account) so that we can recognize their name in the waiting room. This will allow us to begin meetings on time.
Translation services will be available. We will be using the Home language to determine which families may need translationHere are the links, separated by grade:602/604 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FFEG1K8Hrn3LSVci6sLy6iQ3rrurWXzDgoV8JOS7Um8/edit?usp=sharing603/605 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jvtKZEXELQxPnmFg0iUVir6NHI2WFsTHH89FLP96E8s/edit?usp=sharing701/703/705 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zg1KRwjiXkLhqOvzXp2dFxyAk25uHk4jI2DFj9jLGmo/edit?usp=sharing702/704 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qw61d09FP7owy9xGc80jLvQdibks_vcvKOKAugmnzPw/edit?usp=sharing8th Grade (801, 802, 803, 804) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YygoZJfZVmsZ3t3HQodkPIV3s0F5S87uxEgce0L43Rk/edit?usp=sharing606/706/806 https://docs.google.com/document/d/11gsP-Dl1FplXkAjXekWhocU5G4TiNGmKqf7YDXWJ-o0/edit?usp=sharing

Curriculum @ MHS
The goal of the Mott Hall School’s curriculum is the development of skilled students who are self-directed critical thinkers. At Mott Hall, all of our students engage in an advanced curriculum with the goal of leaving eighth grade with high school Regents credits. To that end, our team of phenomenal teachers leverage many tools to meet students where they are and to push them towards mastery of key skills and concepts. Below, you'll find a list of curriculum materials our school utilizes to achieve this goal.
Curriculum Materials
- Math - Illustrative Math (Accelerated)
- ELA - Expeditionary Learning
- Social Studies - Passport
- Science - Amplify
Questions? Want to learn more? Reach out directly to your student's teacher.
Young Scholars
Mott Hall students are considered young scholars. They learn subject matter through a constructivist and project-based approach using powerful learning techniques such as Socratic dialogues, literature circles, writing for student publications, digital film making and web site creation.
The curriculum is further enriched by its alignment to the Common Core NationalStandards. Students are offered accelerated special courses and seminars as well as special enrichment electives such as chess, robotics and stock market studies which engage them in real world investigations tied directly to student needs and interests.
Technology @ MHS
Mott Hall has a technology-rich environment. As one of the first schools in NYC to have laptops, we have continued to grow in our use of technology both in and out of the classroom. Each student has their own device for use at school, and students can request a device to use at home throughout the school year (see forms below). Our teachers use Google Classroom to post work and grades. We encourage parents to facilitate a weekly check-in on assignments to support our scholars in their academic progress.
Want to learn more?
- Google Classroom for Parents
- Digital Citizenship (NYCDOE)
- Digital Citizenship for Families (Common Sense Media)
If your student would needs a device, please complete the two forms below and return them to your child's first period teacher!
